1. A machine process for positioning two modules on a planar field by the use of a programmed digital computer having stored therein a program, said program for creating representations of said modules in said computer, said representations are separated by a region defined by a plurality of substantially parallel columns from a representation of one module (hereinafter:

  • "one representation") to a representation of the other module (hereinafter;

    "other representation") and by a plurality of substantially parallel tracks having variable widths substantially perpendicular to said columns, said representations of the modules are connected by a plurality of interconnections;

    a portion of each of said interconnection lies on a column and on a track, said program enabling the computer to perform the following steps;

    (a) moving a track, having a first width closest to said one representation to said one representation by moving each point in said track, intersected by a column, to as close to said one representation as possible such that said track moved has a first profile;

    (b) establishing a guard frame for said track moved in step (a);

    (c) repeating the steps of (a) and (b) by moving the track next furthest away from the last track, having a second width different from said first width moved in the direction of said other representation; and

    (d) moving said other representation in a direction to said one representation to as close to the last track moved as possible;

    wherein said modules are placed in positions of said representations.
